So, quick question

[Monroe]

Hi all. Wingate newbie here.

So is there a way in WG to assign different gateways to different IP ranges in a single LAN?

That is, I want ALL workstations in my network to have the Wingate server as their default gateway, but then I want the WG server to have IPs 192.168.100.10 through 192.168.100.50 using gateway 192.168.100.1, 51 through 75 using 192.168.100.2, etc.

And if so, I'd be thankful for a simple initial pointer in the right direction :).

Thanks!!

Not sure that is possible, but if you use proxy connection method you can search in this direction: create as many proxies as you need (each on different port, of course) and then provide each of them to use its own gateway.

The problem is I don't know how to provide the latter. IMHO, it is routing task, and what is more - source routing. MS OS can't do it, not sure about Wingate routing feature.
Wait for Qbic reply.

WinGate 7 can do this for specified ports.

This is because it can intercept connections, and specify which gateway to use in policy, so can decide which gateway to use based on the client IP. You can do this by intercepting to a TCP mapping proxy, or to a protocol proxy like the WWW proxy (or a combination depending on destination port).

WinGate 6 can't do this unless you had a physical NIC for each subnet of clients. This is because WinGate 6 uses a static configuration per proxy, and unless you can get the clients to go through different proxies, you can't assign different gateways.

We do also have plans for an implementation of source routing, but it's not going to make it into the initial WinGate 7 release due to time constraints.

If you'd like to try this out with WinGate 7, drop an email to support@qbik.com
